4 on Birds of Prey #22 reviewBig Barda has been taken hostage and could possibly be the Birds of Prey’s newest enemy. The heroines left in the team are trying to retrace Barda’s steps and figure out how to rescue her but they’re in for a rough surprise! So I made the mistake of looking at the viewer statistics of these…
DC Pride 2025 has a very ambitious multi universe storyline that encompasses a looooot of different writers, artists and characters. There’s also a separate story attached at the end where a trans person shares her personal story throughout her life at DC and within a country that inhabits increasingly intense hatred towards people like her.…
Jackson and I continue our joint review of the “We Are Yesterday” crossover event between our titles, with this issue being Part 5. As usual, my comments will be in purple, while Jackson’s comments will be in blue. One of the first things that I did after reading this issue was check whether or not…
The last issue had a bit of a problem with contrived drama. Fans of Jason Todd would be especially upset, as it rolled back a lot of his character in order to rehash an argument he's been having with Batman for almost 20 years now. The optimist might have seen that and hoped that it…
Our beloved DC x Sonic crossover continues this month in issue 3! Over halfway into the story now, and we finally get to see what we were promised: Sonic characters standing in for DC heroes. With the Justice League all but lost to the multiverse, Team Sonic decide to pick up the slack in…
After a small mid-series hiatus, Batman & Robin: Year One is back! I sure hope our caped crusaders have used that time to rest up because they certainly have a lot to deal with. Clayface, Two-Face, and now, General Grimaldi inching ever closer to the identity of Batman! Talk about a hard day's night... Like looking…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Four of the “We Are Yesterday” crossover event between our titles. As always, my comments will be in blue, while Akash’s comments will be in purple. Right away this issue's opening does a good job of quickly establishing the kind of story you should expect. Right away…
Watters and Francavilla's noir mystery continues in Nightwing #126. Allegedly, Captain Hollow, the ghost of the first cop killed in action; hunts Blüdhaven officers that violate the code. After a Helios cop kills a kid, the apparition lays down the lawman in response. Whether the ghostly shooter is merely a guy in a costume or…
Detective Comics #1097 catapults into its next vicious arc, this time led by Harvey Bullock. In a wild twist of fate, Gordon and Bullock exchange roles, with Harvey flexing his prowess as a cynical P.I. Following the bloody Asema case, Batman and Harvey focus their efforts on investigating the mysterious Elixir organization. Yet, the deeper…
The last time we left Selina, we were learning about how her time as Evie led to her being hunted in the present day. While we had been getting flashbacks to her time as Evie interspersed throughout the run, #75 decided to focus entirely on the flashbacks. Which introduced a bunch of new characters on…
Damian is still missing, and Batman is desperate to find him before it’s too late. After finding some clues about Memento’s potential next move inside Damian’s comic, Bruce seeks out Katherine Lautrec for assistance. Will the two of them be able to find Robin and finally put an end to Memento’s reign of terror? Let’s…
With Black Mask out of the way, last issue introduced the next threat looming over the horizon: the Ark M facility and whatever it is that's going on inside. Supposedly, this issue "concludes" that two-parter before an impossibly even larger Bane shows up next month. I use scare quotes there because this issue is less…
So, in the last session of this hot-and-cold relationship I have with the DC vs Vampires franchise, I had reached an understanding with the series. It would provide B-grade schlock horror while moving the plot forward, and I…would have to be ok with that. It’s fine, relationships are all about adjusting to suit each other's…
Tropes. Every piece of media has them, and comics and TV shows are certainly no exception. When we combine the two, we get this: Teen Titans Go! #3. Here, Robin falls victim to the most classic of blunders, pretending to be someone else and having to switch between both characters to carry out a plan.…
After coming off the epic and tragic finale of the “Mother” arc, Batgirl #7 finds Cassandra Cain learning more about Lady Shiva’s history. What secrets will she find out about her mother? Isaac Goodhart steps in as guest artist for this two-issue arc that covers the origin of Lady Shiva. Here are my thoughts. I…
Christian Ward's Two-Face is one of the more interesting takes on the supervillain in the last few years. In All-Star Batman, Scott Snyder depicts Harvey as a blackmailer exposing the double lives of the "so-called" good people of Gotham. Ram V imagines a tense partnership of personalities in Detective Comics. Not to mention, the iconic…
We’re at part two of On the Run and each member of the team is dealing with boat loads of stress. The fragmented stories are impressively in sync and we have lots of action to boot. Now the villains leave a lot to be desired but let’s not get ahead of ourselves! Kelly Thompson has…
Paradise is bountiful with lush vegetation and lots of rewarding work being done by Poison Ivy and Undine. They’re isolated, in their own little bubble that they can shape however they want. Janet from HR is still weak after recovery and we’ll find out what collapses first, her health or the little slab of heaven…
Robin has been shot! And the identity of this new “Holiday” shooter remains a mystery. Even though Robin survived the encounter with the shooter, Batman would never forgive himself if something severe were to ever happen to the boy. So how will the Dynamic Duo rebound? Dave Johnson, who’s mostly known for his cover work,…
Akash and I continue our crossover review for Part Three of the "We Are Yesterday" crossover event between our titles. My comments will be in blue, while Akash's comments will be in purple. Well after a "first" issue that hardly had anything to do with the crossover, and a second issue that was mostly exposition…
